Win-Win for PRS ROBOTICS

Our robotics teams took first and second place at one of the largest regional FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competitions of the year. Over 60 teams of seventh to 12 th grade students from all over San Diego County and Tijuana and all four San Diego FTC leagues competed in the two day event. More than 600 people attended the head-to-head robotics competition hosted by Pacific Ridge.

“Going into the last round, the Ridgebots were in second place and the Pyrobots were in third,” said Hunter Pashkow, Robotics Coach. “Both teams won their final rounds and each of our teams only lost one round all day.”

FTC robotics challenges students to think like engineers. Teams work to design, build and code robots using a variety of levels of Java-based programming to compete in “an alliance format” against other teams.

Congratulations to the Pyrobots and Ridgebots on their first and second place finishes!
